I've installed X-Pack on Elastic and Kibana; however, on Kibana interface the Monitoring menu doesn't appear. The version I'm running is 5.4.0 and x-pack was installed using zip file
> bin/elasticsearch-plugin list --verbose
> Plugins directory: /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins
> x-pack

I can see that some default indexes got created though:

kibana.yml has:
> xpack.monitoring.enabled: true
> xpack.monitoring.ui.enabled: true
> xpack.security.enabled: false
and elastic.yam has:
> xpack.ml.enabled: false
> xpack.security.audit.enabled: true
> xpack.security.enabled: false
I also have cerebro installed on that node.
any hints?

I could reproduce your situation with the same settings, when X-Pack is _not_ installed on Kibana, but only
on Elasticsearch.
If this is the case for you, please make sure you have installed X-Pack on Kibana too, by following [this guide](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/5.6/installing-xpack-kb.html)

Thanks. However, I indeed installed Xpack for Kibana same as I did on Elastic. I mentioned it in the top of my message.
But your link helped. I re-installed the X-pack again specifying the user. And it worked. ))) Thank you for pointing to the useful link!
